Why we built the Community Compass Audit

At Mindful Rental Pros, we believe that ethical rental ownership begins with an understanding of how your goals for operating a rental property align with the goals of the host community you’ll be operating in. How your individual actions fit into your host community is a key element of a long-range strategy for success. Conflict = resistance. Alignment = cooperation. It’s that simple.

That’s why we created the Community Compass Audit — a quick, reflective tool that helps rental owners like you assess how well your practices align with the priorities of your host communities. This way you’ll be less exposed to a surprise down the road if your strategy conflicts with your local jurisdictions’ goals, or – worse, still – your local jurisdiction’s regulations.

In other words, which way is the tide turning in the area where you have, or are about to, make a significant investment?

·      Is that information you know?

·      If not, should you?

·      Is there an activity that you are, or can be, doing that puts you on the positive side of the balance sheet of what your host community cares about rather than the negative side?

In just a few minutes, the audit provides:

• A personalized alignment score,

• A spotlight on strengths and risks,

• Tips to better align your rental with local needs so that you & they can be more synergistic and, in the long range, more successful. Together.

It’s not about passing or failing. It’s about becoming more intentional — and being part of a movement to work WITH the tide instead of trying to get local regulators to “get on board” with a strictly short-term agenda. As a bonus outcome, we may even find that we help protect housing access, economic fairness, and community trust. Hmm. Not bad for a little bit of mindfulness.
